The proximity principle indicates that items located close to one another appear to be part of the same group. In simpler terms, we naturally tend to associate items based on their spatial closeness. For the provided sentences, the first one is spaced in an unusual manner, while the second sentence is formatted conventionally, which enables our immediate comprehension of it.
Shirley Jackson successfully prompts readers to reflect on the danger of unthinking adherence to traditions. She portrays a community steeped in an old practice of selecting an individual for sacrifice. Various characters play significant symbolic roles, with the children exemplifying how the next generation adopts customs without skepticism. The names of notable residents, Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves, also carry symbolic weight; Summers signifies the perennial nature of this custom akin to seasonal cycles, while Graves signifies the silence surrounding the fatalities. Jackson engages the audience through suspense, ultimately shocking them when revealing that the lottery's purpose is to choose a sacrificial victim. This unexpected twist enhances the story's impact, compelling readers to respond emotionally.

To convert the sentence into passive voice, you must change the focus from the subject performing the action to the object receiving it (in this instance, "money" is the object that is "earned").

The money was earned by Father for all of us.
